HTUF
Hosting 3 Meetings at Clean Heavy-Duty
Shuttle
Bus and Plug-in Truck Workshops, Plus Fleet-Only Summit, on
Feb 13
Building on the strong momentum from this year's Hybrid Truck
Users Forum (HTUF) National Meeting, HTUF will be holding
three different meetings in conjunction with this year's Clean
Heavy-Duty Vehicle Conference, February 13-15, 2007 in Los
Angeles, CA.
The HTUF meetings will take place in advance of the
main conference on Tuesday, Feb. 13.
The three meetings
each target different topics identified as of high interest
from this year's HTUF National Meeting:
- Hybrid Shuttle Bus Workshop (9 am - 3 pm)
- Plug-in Hybrid Electric Truck (PHET) Workshop
(9 am - 3 pm)
- HTUF Fleet Summit
(4 - 6 pm, fleets only)
The
Hybrid Shuttle Bus Workshop is really the kick-off
meeting for the Hybrid Shuttle Bus Working Group of HTUF,
and will explore the market size, barriers and opportunities
of this segment which generally uses truck-based chassis for
bus applications. The meeting is open to fleet operators and
manufacturers, though there may be a private fleet session.
The Plug-in
Hybrid Electric Truck (PHET) Workshop is very much
a learning session to explore how the emerging interest in
and technology for plug-in hybrids can be applied to medium-
and heavy-duty trucks, and if it can, what is the market pathway
that makes sense. The workshop is open to fleets, manufacturers,
suppliers, regulators and others and will explore the barriers
to plug-ins, their potential business case, and what next
steps would be for the technology.
The HTUF
Fleet Summit is a private, fleet-only meeting for
truck and bus vehicle fleet users and operators to discuss
the status of hybrid market introduction, unified actions
for vehicle purchase and support and incentives and support
funding. The meeting is open to fleets from all working groups
and applications. Meeting is by invitation only, or by request.
